The invention belongs to the technical field of
biology, and particularly relates to an SLC44A1
gene and / or SLC44A5
gene knockout animal model as well as a construction method and application thereof. The construction method of the
animal model comprises the following steps: deleting
exon regions from the fourth
exon region to the thirteenth
exon region of the SLC44A1
gene and / or the second exon region of the SLC44A5 gene in mouse brain oligodendroglia cells in a high-efficiency manner by utilizing gene editing and a Cre-loxP
recombinase system, so as to realize the knockout of a
target gene. The
animal model constructed by the invention can be used for researching the regulation mechanism of the
choline transporters (SLC44A1 and SLC44A5) on
myelin sheath formation, deeply knowing the biological functions of the
choline transporters (SLC44A1 and SLC44A5), simulating the occurrence and development processes of human related diseases, revealing the
pathogenesis of the related diseases, providing a new thought for prevention and treatment of brain
myelin sheath
dysplasia, and providing a new foundation for the prevention and treatment of brain
myelin sheath
dysplasia. And an effective
drug or a treatment mode aiming at the
disease is screened by utilizing a
gene knockout animal model, so that a new choice is provided for
clinical treatment of the
disease.
